St Helens coach Lee Briers believes that Kyle Feldt can have no complaints over the three-match suspension he received in victory over Castleford Tigers.<\/p>\n

Feldt received a sin-bin in that game for a high and late shot on Tigers centre Krystian Mapapalangi, who was forced from the field for a HIA which he subsequently failed.<\/p>\n

Following that game, the RFL\u2019s Match Review Panel deemed that the incident was worth a Grade D charge, meaning that the winger received 18 points on his record, putting him over the threshold for a three-match ban.<\/p>\n

Feldt will serve the first of his three games this weekend, as his side face Toulouse Olympique away from home.<\/p>\n

Assistant coach Briers spoke to the press ahead of that game in France, and explained how neither the player nor club can have any complaints about the suspension.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, you can\u2019t complain,\u201d he said. \u201cKyle\u2019s made a judgement, and what you\u2019ve got to remember is it happens so quick.<\/p>\n

\u201cKyle needs to bend his back a bit there and go under the ball. He got his timing wrong, and it is what it is. We take it on the chin and move on\u201d<\/p>\n

With Feldt absent, it means that there could be game time for Owen Dagnall, in what would be his first start since a win over Hull FC in August 2025.<\/p>\n

Dagnall has featured from the bench a couple times this season, including last week where he was activated at 18th man, featuring for the final few minutes of the game.<\/p>\n

Should George Whitby feature this week, it could mean that Tristan Sailor goes to full-back, Harry Robertson starts in the centres and Deon Cross moves back out to the wing, so whilst the club do have their injury problems, there are still a number of options for Paul Rowley to choose from in regards to his three-quarters.<\/p>\n
